Hank got his first guitar 60 years ago...

I’m sure a lot of us are thinking of Hank today, although he doesn’t celebrate his birthday. He recounts often in interviews how his father bought him his first guitar, a Hofner Congress, for his 16th birthday, 60 years ago today. Amazing.

It was also nice to see in a recent photo and interview that he still had the banjo that he bought off his schoolmaster.

Thank you Hank, for many years of musical enjoyment and inspiration - I’m glad that your father bought you that guitar...
